Common Types of E-Mail Abuse where the Sender Address is Forged
Spammers want to avoid receiving non-delivery notifications (bounces) to their real addresses.
Fraudsters want to cover their tracks and remain anonymous.
Computer worms want to cause confusion or just don’t care about which sender addresses they use.
Phishers (password fishers) want to impersonate well-known, trusted identities in order to steal passwords from users.
